Does Baby In Upside Position Mean It Is At Risk Of Down S Syndrome?
I did a nt scan at 12 weeks 2 days and it came at 2.5mm. I repeated and it came at 1.5 and 1.4 on the same day at another sonologist. I am 35 but mine is a IVF cycle with donor egg and the donor is aged 24 years. The second sonologist told that the baby may have been in an upside position and hence the higher measurement. Am I at risk of down s syndrome

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned.
Baby in upside position may result in different measurement during ultrasound.
I don't think that it is related to down syndrome.
However, if you want to rule out down syndrome then you should go for tripple test for down syndrome.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
